AngocA's WebSite.

The Geocities page was closed, and that site will no longer exist. For this reason I created this new WebSite with more recent information and in several languages.

Interests

NFC

One of my interests is the NFC technology that its use will rise in the following years. I worked in with this technology in my Master of Sciences, and I am still interest in how this develop. This year 2011, Nokia has released some telephones with NFC, and that means that the big mobile companies are interested in this technology, so it is time to see and analyze this opportunity. I created a project in SourceForge with the sources of the applications that I wrote in my Master: NFC Museum and NFC Picking application. The project is hosted here:

Open Source Journey Planner for transport systems like Transmilenio

This is my most recent interest, and the objective is to design an Open Architecture for Journey Planner for systems like Transmilenio.

The first goal is to design the application. This is necessary because there is a bunch of mobile platforms, such as iPhone (Objective-C), Windows (Mango), BlackBerry, Symbian, Maemo, Android and others that use Java ME. Due to this variety of platforms, it is necessary to begin with the design of architecture, defining the components and their interactions. Once the architecture is defined, it is possible to write the application for any platform just by following the guidelines of the architecture.

There are many Journey Planners, not only for Transmilenio, but almost all of them are closed source, and they do not provide many cool functions. I am trying to create a community around this project, inviting everyone who can be interested in transportation problems.

Typing

I am currently interested is fast typing. This is the reason I created the
Zemucan
application, to type DB2 commands faster and without errors. I am also learning a new keyboard distribution called Dvorak that is improved to type faster. Take a look at

. For more performance, I bought the TypeMatrix 2030 keyboard.

Georeferenced photos of Bogota

I bought a Sony DSC-HX5V camera with GPS, and I took the
phpmyGPX
project to create a portal of Georeferenced Photos of Bogota. The aim is to provide Free and Open photos to the community, in a similar way maps are open such as OpenStreetMap (osm). The objective is to have a similar system to GoogleStreetView with photos of the streets presented over a map. This is just a demo project that has to be improved, and you can help with it.
